Spa dirty, staff unfriendly. Positive the view from the spa.

incredibly beautiful dive sites . The Valhalla for macro photographers . Black water diving every day with an extra charge .
Great trip , good food , top service from the boat crew and guides .

Nice facility, very nice and hard-working dive guide. Staff otherwise not unfriendly, but not very helpful either. But all in all, the price/performance ratio is right, and the macro diving is great.

Very pleasant diving vacation with very nice muck divespots and also some corals. Sometimes moderate current. Visibility varies from moderate to good.

Sun loungers and sun protection on the balcony are missing.

Buceo Anilao, small but nice. Totally geared towards diving.
Room: I had a nice room with a balcony and sea view. The footpath for the staff to the resort was right next to my balcony, so there was a lot of foot traffic, but that didn't bother me. However, there are also rooms where the balcony is quite small and hidden.
Cuisine: large menu, with local dishes but also western cuisine, very finely cooked.
Bar: The small bar also has an extensive drinks menu. In the evening there are always 3 drinks listed under "Happy Hour".
Pool: there are two pools, very nicely situated with a view of the sea. There are sun loungers on the beach and around the pool where you can make yourself comfortable.
Staff: very helpful and courteous.

Breakfast is very simple. But mangoes of the best quality and eggs as you like them

Half board: Unfortunately no choice at the buffet. Best to book breakfast only and eat à la carte.
Restaurant staff more concerned with their cell phones than with the guests. Room service is provided by the restaurant staff. The room was clean on arrival. The intermediate cleaning has great potential for improvement.

The resort is located on a slope. We had booked a luxury apartment, which unfortunately was at the top. Due to joint problems, we had to change our booking on site to a lower room (which didn't have the fabulous view). This was uncomplicated and we received a credit note when we checked out.
The food was à la carte and very good. The bartender was able to mix every cocktail. Fabulous!

Highly recommended, we had a superior room with balcony and beautiful view of the sea, room very large, tastefully designed and functionally furnished; large, clean bathroom, room had fan and very quiet air conditioning; safe available, but freely removable - so useless.
Breakfast buffet style - hot and cold food and fresh fruit juices; lunch and dinner a la carte - plenty of choice between very tasty Filipino dishes and international dishes.
Water, tea, coffee and cookies available all day; bar with happy hour and delicious cocktails; staff very friendly and helpful, speak excellent English, owner with family on site - takes care of everything. Great pool with a view of the sea. Plenty of sun loungers and parasols available and in good condition, lovingly decorated and beautifully landscaped and well-kept garden - a real splendor of flowers that attracts birds and insects.
Beautifully laid out spa area with great massages - highly recommended. However, there were 71 steps from the dining area to our room.... and there are other rooms above - so not for those who don't like stairs - but good for fitness and calorie consumption.
See separate review for dive center and dive sites - but highly recommended in any case.

I liked the fine and small resort very much... Food was delicious and diving well organized... the rooms are a bit bare and a bit used, for sleeping more than sufficient. I would go there again and again.

Contrary to expectations, I was absolutely thrilled in all points. Above all, macro lovers get their money's worth. Photographers also experience a service paradise here.

Beautiful resort with very large rooms. Had booked the De Luxe variant. But that is not absolutely necessary.
The stairs to the rooms are steep and long. If you are not good on foot, the climb becomes a torture. At least if you live at the top. But you are rewarded with a gigantic view.
The food is good, but not excellent.
But the whole staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. You immediately feel at home. We only booked breakfast and ate à la carte for lunch and dinner. Lunch has to be ordered in the morning and dinner at noon.
The short distances from the dive center to the bar and restaurant are practical.
The transfer worked great.
The last 5 minutes to the resort are done by boat. There is also sometimes a wet butt if it is wavy.
But all in all we had 9 wonderful nights on site.

-the best room category is ok, but partly you have to cope with a lot of steep stairs (the lowest category is a storage room and absolutely not recommended, the middle category is also still very cramped).
-you should not book half board; this is a buffet without any choice! (only 1 menu!) the price for it is completely exorbitant. The à la carte food is good and relatively inexpensive.
-the staff is helpful and tries to solve all problems, but you have to poke them with your nose.
-the diving staff tries to consider your wishes, but the boats are very small for 2-tank-dives with 1h in the boat and completely overcrowded with 6 divers (if enough people come together who want to return after the dive, this is possible; is also dependent on the booking)

Very cozy resort with very friendly, family atmosphere. Well maintained pool area. The food is very good, it was mango season!
The bar area with daily changing happy hour drinks is the meeting place in the evening.
The stairs to the bungalows on the hillside, however, you have to like.

The resort is in need of some renovation. But this is more than compensated by the nice, hardworking crew and the good atmosphere that has always prevailed here. The dive sites were excellent! Great muck sites and also very nice coral gardens, but you have to actively ask for them, because the resort is a specialist for muck and critter. We had a very good guide who found and showed even the tiniest snails and shrimp.

The superior room is very good, the standard room is mediocre.

Very nicely located, but climbing stairs is announced. And everyone is happy that you are there!

(Automatically translated from German)

It does not have internet in the room. That was the only thing that really bothered me.
The food is not that great. Especially if you spend more than a few days there. The breakfast could be variable.

Arrive and enjoy!
Our small group of 5 people spent two weeks in the idyllically situated diving resort Buceo Anilao. After a smooth transfer in an air-conditioned minibus we were welcomed with cooling refreshment and a warm welcome. The resort makes a very well-kept impression, the spacious rooms with fantastic sea view are cleaned daily on request and the whole team is incredibly friendly, polite and attentive. We were really spoiled and felt well looked after all around. The food was rich and very good - there was something for every taste. The evenings can be comfortably concluded at the centrally located bar. Bartender JayJay offers an extensive cocktail and drink menu and also likes to mix delicious own creations.
The diving center is modernly equipped, top organized and has its own generously equipped camera room. Varied dive sites with short trips of max. 30 minutes and an unbelievably diverse underwater world awaited us. Intact coral reefs with colourful reef fish populations rich in individuals, great underwater landscapes, spacy night dives (an absolute must), and of course the unbelievable variety of colours and shapes of the nudibranches are hard to beat. The possibility to choose between top muck dives or reefs not affected by coral extinction I find ideal.
In good weather the base also offers blackwater diving for experienced divers. We enjoyed a near shore variant and were fascinated by what was happening. Beside the, as already mentioned variety of nudibranchs, various octopus and frogfish, there are also other small treasures that are offered. Good eyes, a magnifying glass or a macro lens are an advantage if hairy shrimps with eggs or bearded goby want to be viewed.
The dive boats are manoeuvrable and ideal for small groups. We were maximum 3 divers per guide! The reefs are in 1A condition and our guides are highly motivated. The well-considered choice of the dive spots always offered something new - thanks Elmar and John Lloyd - they did a great job and gave us fantastic motives - no wishes remained open!

On our dive-free day we made a perfectly organized excursion to the Taal volcano - at that time highly recommended, but at the moment probably not possible anymore, because the volcano gave a remarkable sign of life and unfortunately covered the whole landscape with a thick ash cover.
A volcano within a volcano and a lake within a lake! The volcanic island in the Taal Lake could be climbed on horseback or on foot just one year ago. Lush vegetation, lava rocks and fumaroles accompanied the ascent, which was rewarded with a fantastic view of the caldera. Today the area resembles a lunar landscape and it will probably take years until nature has recovered.
It is definitely worthwhile to make a small side trip to Taal with the largest church building in the Philippines, the Basilica St. Martin of Tours.
The entire crew deserves special praise for creating a great family atmosphere - their concerned sympathy for the recovery of our patient, the immediate elimination of the danger of slipping when boarding the boat as well as prompt and uncomplicated assistance with minor equipment problems.
Many thanks to the great team!

The dish of the day (local dish) is usually the best choice at lunchtime.
And the bar is perfect for a sunset cocktail
